Listen.... Hear that?... SILENCE Can Be Beautiful Sometimes

You gotta Look UP

BELIEVE

STAND

Stretch your Wings

Take Flight

Remember, if a teeny eeny bird can fly ...

FLY OVER THE RAINBOW

(I sure have taken some "sick" pictures)

Before I talk about the silence...

WE WILL NEVER FORGET

JUNE 29,2010

JEFFERY KOCAB and DAVE CURTIS

The cold blooded piece of useless

well

the killer has entered a "not guilty" plea.

Guess he had nothing better to do than turn himself in that early morning before the funeral ofr our Fallen Tampa Police Officers

Guess he probably wanted to be incarcerated so he could get off drugs, or maybe get a good meal, maybe just maybe he wanted to visit with some old friends that he was missin'.

Yippee Skippee

Now the American taxpayers can look forward to that joy; hundreds of thousands of dollars of waste... while the community, the families, the men and women in blue ask

WHY

Prayers for Sara, for the Fallen, for those who are serving and trying with their hearts and souls to bend and not break as they defend and keep us safe.

Just sayin...

Good morning and thank you for this day! Sitting in the quiet of morning; feeling grateful I am. I am so richly blessed with life, love, friends and family ~
The Storms of life will come and if we continue to look up, we may get a mouth full of rain if we don't shut our mouths!!!
But by continuing to look UP, we may bear witness to lifes' beauty ... STOMP... Soar, stretch into YOU, fly over your Rainbow ~ with amazing grace.
                              Look To The Rainbow ~
De-Caf can grow on ya I'm thinking... tastes the same as high test as far as I can tell so far! Coffee super this morning... Little ones playing NASCAR, Gypsy with toy of the morning in her little mouth and running the curve quite admirably I might just add!

Silence can indeed be golden; wonder who was the first to coin that phrase?


Mother Theresa once advised that we smile with our eyes, speak form our hearts, and offer always a kind word. What wonderful and sage advice.


A moment of tenderness, of kindness, dispels fear.
It lifts us up. 

 It’s easy to give, costs us nothing and means so much to those we interact with.
Do we say “thank you’ as often as we should.
Do we engage others in heartfelt conversations or just speak?

I try to practice mindfulness whenever possible, and it’s most always possible.
 I am mindful of the feelings I bring to my fellow humans, the words I use, the energy I create with my words.
It is easy to fire off a quick barb that stings.
But why?
Sometimes silence really is golden.
When words are spoken without sincerity, or with a fake smile, the message is still crystal clear.

 It is true that we have to make a conscious effort engage our mind before our mouth.

We can let a misspoken word roll off our backs without being caught in the trap of a caustic response.
 Pity the speaker, dismiss the remark and take the high road.


Yes, it can be easier said than done, but then we are mindful people, are we not?

You know the old ‘sticks and stones”.
Well, I have yet to find the benefit in escalating any situation by creating a war of words.
It is more disarming to say nothing and let the speaker wonder what impact their words may have had, than to open your mouth and provide certainty that your buttons have been pushed.

We all have buttons, and we usually encounter people who know how to push just the right one at just the worst moment.
Trust me on this, we own the power source to our own “buttons”.

I will not give away my personal power to some cheap shot.
You know the old Indian saying, we have two ears and one mouth?
So listen with both ears, but turn a deaf one when it is necessary.
Words spoken cannot be recalled.
Better to say nothing than to wish you had not responded.
 I personally use a quizzical hint of a smile.
Like I “got” it, but it has no value.

 Strong Indian medicine. Leaves em wondering.

 Let’s the mean tongue trip over itself with no effort on my part.
I do not have to take to heart every utterance that falls upon my ears.

I choose to hear the kind words and respond.
 I choose to offer kind words and allow the listener to take them on or not.
I believe in the universe’s ability to put before me many opportunities to take that high road, and I am rarely disappointed.


Speak gently, speak the truth as you know it, and know when to stand down.
Silence can be your ally.
It often is for me.
BUT> when you want to listen to something that you can control, listen to MUSIC, it will fill your soul and nourish spirit... It will get your "nuwati" moving...
"Get jiggy wit it" ~ "Just Dance"

Look to the Rainbow... stretch, fly...
fly OVER THE RAINBOW! C'mon friends > follow your passion; follow your dreams and realities... Let your knowledge be your truth.

NOW that oughta get your motor running... try hitting all those octaves today as you jump over the rainbow! Listen again, this time crank up the volume... see that passion? Try it on for yourself, feel it within... feel it change your mood, change your focus,
 FLY FRIENDS WITH GLADNESS AND GRATITUDE FOR YOUR DAY ~

The fire is always burning and its embers are hot, with thoughts of warmth, healing ways for those who are fighting the fight, those who are being thought about often and warmly always... We are Warriors here ...
